Leptotyphlops albifrons Amaral 1925 |
Remarks:
Confusion among albifrons, goudotii, phenops, and tenella has existed for decades - see a detailed description in Wallach (2016).
All four species are considered valid herein, following this author.
Also McCranie & Hedges (2016) recognized goudotii, phenops, and tenella as separate species, and considered albifrons and tenella
as belonging to a different species group, although they did not make conclusions on the status of these taxa, pending further studies.
Mumaw, González & Fernández (2015) designated a neotype, which was rejected by Wallach (2016), who designated another neotype.
According to Wallach (2016), the only certain record of albifrons is the type locality in Para, Brazil, although reported from several other countries:
Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay (see Wallach 2016 for details).
Pinto, Franco & Hoogmoed (2018), however, rejected Wallach's (2016) neotype designation, condidering it invalid.
Distribution:

| |

Other common names:
nasalis: Managua Thread Snake
Remarks:
This species consists of what was previously regarded as Central American populations of the South American species goudoti (McCranie 2011).
Revalidated by McCranie (2009) and supported by McCranie & Hedges (2016).
Villa (1990) reviewed the species, but reversed the synonymy, considering ater a synonym of nasalis, although Dunn & Saxe (1950), as first revisers,
chose ater over nasalis as the name for this taxon.

Leptotyphlops gadowi Duellman (Wallach, Williams & Boundy 2014) |
Remarks:
Previously regarded as a synonym or subspecies of phenops (e.g., Smith 1943; Peters & Orejas-Miranda 1970).
Revalidated as a separate species by Wallach (2016) and McCranie & Hedges (2016), although listed as such already by Wallach, Williams & Boundy (2014), however,
without discussion.
The unconfirmed record from Guanajuato (Romo-García & Gallardo-Arroyo 2007), mentioned by Wallach (2016), seem to be valid, whereas a record from Mexico state
(Camarillo-Rangel, Aguilar-Cortes & Gonzalez-Ruiz 1985; Camarillo-R. & Smith in Strimple & Strimple 1992) is unconfirmed and probably a different species,
considering the location (V. Wallach, pers. comm., December 1st, 2016).

See further remarks under albifrons and a detailed account in Wallach (2016).

Previously included ater, magnamaculata, and phenops, as well as populations now assigned to bakewelli, martinezi,
pauldwyeri, resetari, schneideri, vindumi, and wynni (Wallach 2016).
Records from Panama refer to pauldwyeri, from Belize and Guatemala to phenops, and from El Salvador to ater or phenops (Wallach 2016).
Presence in Trinidad needs confirmation (Wallach 2016), although reported by some authors (e.g., Hahn 1980; Peters & Orejas-Miranda 1970).
Buurt (2005, 2006) did not mention goudotii from Bonaire, although reported by several authors
(e.g., Hahn 1980; Peters & Orejas-Miranda 1970; McDiarmid, Campbell & Touré 1999; Wallach 2016).
The nominal species fallax may represent a separate species (Wallach 2016) and was treated as such by Mumaw, González & Fernández (2015).

Leptotyphlops amazonicus Orejas-Miranda (Hahn 1979, 1980) |
| |
Epictia amazonica Mumaw, González & Fernández 2015 |
Remarks:
Almendáriz (1992) listed both signata and amazonicus as a valid species, possibly having overlooked Hahn's (1979) synonymization of the two taxa.
Also Mumaw, González & Fernández (2015) regarded amazonicus as a valid species.
According to Cisneros-Heredia (2008), older records from Ecuador were based on misidentifications or specimens of uncertain origin, so he proposed deleting
signata from the list of Ecuadors snake fauna, however, the species is included for the country herein based on subsequent works
(e.g., Francisco, Pinto & Fernandes 2012; Salazar-Valenzuela, Martins, Amador-Oyola & Torres-Carvajal 2015).
